glow not rendering in picture viewer
does anybody know if there are size limitations when using a glow on a texture? im rendering something out for a print piece so the size is pretty big (5100×3900, roughly 11×17). but the glow on one of my textures isnt rendering. however if i cut the size in half it shows up.
anybody ever have that happen? am i missing a setting or something?
thx for any help.

“Glows cannot be seen through transparent objects, nor in reflections. The glow you specify here does not act as a light; other parts of the scene will not be lit by the glow, nor will any shadows be cast. Glows are restricted to a maximum image resolution of 4,000 x 4,000 pixels. When using object motion blur, glow applied to lights may cause colors to overlap.”
If you have AR you can use the glow there which does not have a size limitation (or it’s bigger than I’ve tried).

thats what i was afraid of. thanks for the info.
in the AR glow is there a way to attach it to a certain object only? is that what the object id would be? i dont want everything in my scene to glow (which is what was happening when i tested it a bit ago) nor do i really feel like rendering out individual pieces.
thanks again for the help.

yes, that’s what Objet ID is for. Add a Compositing Tag and enable one of the Object Buffers, the Object ID in Glow is the buffer number you used.
